Veering Off Topic With CloudLock CEO Gil Zimmermann
Summary
Zimmermann co-founded the cloud security software company in 2007 as Aprigo and shifted it to its current name and product focus in 2011.Before launching CloudLock, Zimmermann was an entrepreneur-in-residence at Cedar Fund and held leadership roles at EMC and Sun Microsystems.I recently chatted with Zimmermann about the outlook for cloud security products, the Boston-Israel tech connection, his favorite electronic dance music (EDM) artists, and his thoughts on the philosophies of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.Xconomy: We’ve covered a lot of cybersecurity startups born in Israel that have either relocated to Boston or opened a satellite office here.And just the value that we ascribe to intelligence, and the willingness to tackle and invest into taking on real serious world problems is something that we share on both sides of the ocean.
